Chapter 34: Out of the City
The emperor took the file from Gonggong Tian's hand, and after a few glances, his expression slowly became serious, serious, and a little suppressed anger.
Gonggong Tian, who was waiting on the side, looked at the emperor's face carefully, and was secretly suspicious in his heart.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department stood below, frowning and lowering his eyes, making people unable to see his expression.
"Bastard! What a bastard! The emperor suddenly threw the file in his hand on the table and shouted.
Father-in-law Tian on the side was startled, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look over, only to see that the emperor was panting in anger, and his chest was rising and falling violently.
Father-in-law Tian hurriedly stepped forward, handed a cup of warm tea to the emperor, raised his hand and stroked the emperor's back again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, you dissipate your gas, dissipate your gas, take care of the dragon's body!" ”
The emperor took the tea handed over by Gonggong Tian, poured it down, then rested the teacup heavily on the table, took a few deep breaths, and then spit it out heavily.
The confession file drawn by the Qiu clan was also thrown out by the emperor just now, and two files floated to the ground on the side.
Father-in-law Tian gave the emperor a good breath, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the file on the ground and put it back on the imperial case, thought about it and took a paperweight and pressed it on it.
"What does Feng Qing think about this?" The emperor sat behind the imperial case, was silent for about half a cup of tea, and slowly spoke.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who had always regarded himself as a wooden stake, raised his head and looked at the imperial case, but his eyes did not dare to really look directly at the Son of Heaven behind the imperial case, but fell on the golden wire hollow incense burner surrounded by incense mist on the imperial case.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter offered by the Qiu clan is a big matter, and the minister asks Your Majesty to issue a thorough investigation!" Lord Shangshu's voice was full of anger, and his voice was loud, but he didn't mention King An at all.
"Accurate!" The emperor said in a deep voice.
After the criminal department retreated, the emperor walked back and forth in front of the imperial case for a few rounds, and then turned around and stood still.
"Tian Jin, King Chuanrui and Zhou Xiong meet each other."
"Yes, the minion will go." Gonggong Tian looked at the emperor's gloomy and frightening face, and hurriedly bowed down and exited the door to arrange for someone to hurry up and deliver the decree.
......
There have obviously been a lot of people watching outside the gate of Jingning Houfu in the past few days, not to mention Qin Moyu and the people from the Criminal Department and King An's Mansion, and people from other provinces are also secretly paying attention to the movements here.
When Jing Ning waited to step out of the mansion, the eyes of all walks of life, both open and secret, immediately fell on him.
Jing Ninghou stopped in front of the mansion for a moment, glanced around with a blue and black face, a sneer on his face, and then got into the carriage without saying a word.
When Shangshu of the Criminal Department took the people and the holy decree to Jingning Houfu, Jingninghou's carriage had just left the mansion, and the spies who had just returned to the Criminal Department to report the news happened to miss it with Lord Shangshu's people.
The housekeeper of Jingning Houfu greeted him out with trepidation, and then replied with an embarrassed face Jingning Hou had just gone out, and he hadn't explained where he was going, and he couldn't find anyone at this time.
"Go and send a message to Lord Wei and ask him to block the city gate immediately." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department held high the holy decree and reacted quickly, while ordering people to go to the city gate to spread the word, and on the other hand, ordering people to surround the gate of the Hou Mansion: "No one is allowed to enter or leave." ”
The person who reported to the Criminal Department and the Criminal Department just missed it, but Qin Moyu received the news that Jingning Hou was leaving the mansion and that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was leading people to raid Jingning Houfu, but before he could think about it, the will of the palace arrived.
"Lu Ming, you go and see for yourself, I'm afraid things won't be so coincidental."
The Criminal Department has just asked for an order, why did Jing Ninghou come out so coincidentally? Also, the merits of Jingning Houfu for generations, although they have mastered some of Jingninghou's handles, but these alone should not be enough for the emperor to issue such a fanfare order for the Criminal Department to raid Jingning Houfu.
Moreover, if Jing Ninghou really escaped, it would be even more unusual to see that this matter was unusual.
"And ask someone to invite Shuang'er and Yanzhe to come over, and wait for me to come back." Qin Moyu changed his clothes and said quickly.
Qin Moyu quickly entered the palace and went straight to the imperial study.
Zhou Xiong arrived a little before him, and the emperor was giving him a decree.
"You go and keep an eye on King An's every move for me, and return at any time!" There was hidden anger in the emperor's voice, his hands behind his back, and his eyes looked at Zhou Xiong.
Qin Moyu stood aside and waited with his eyes down, he couldn't see anything on his face, but his mind was turning fast in his heart.
It seems that there must be some big secret in Qiu's confession that they can't think of, and their original plan was to use Qiu's to make Jing Ninghou and King An completely turn against each other, so as to seek a breakthrough from it and find a way to dig out more clues about the poisonous lady. They knew that the Qiu clan had some Jing Ninghou's handle in their hands, and now it seemed that there were still many things they didn't know.
"Look at this!" After Zhou Xiong retreated, the emperor looked at Qin Moyu who was standing aside, his face softened, and motioned to Gonggong Tian to bring him the file brought by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Qin Moyu took it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, the matter was really much more complicated than they knew.
"This?" Qin Moyu raised his head and looked at the emperor, who was also looking at him, his face sinking like water.
"You have arranged for someone to find out these things carefully, and you must dig out all these people."
"Hey, I'm just afraid, Jing Ninghou has been prepared for a long time." Qin Moyu's face was solemn, and he told the emperor the news he received before entering the palace.
"This time it was Erchen's negligence, but he gave him a lot of time, but I'm afraid that he is out of the city now." Although the Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked people to notify the closure of the city as soon as possible, if Jing Ninghou had been prepared, it would have been too late to shoot.
Now I just hope that the person I arrange to keep an eye on can not be lost.
"I don't blame you for this, since he has been hiding for so many years, how can you find out overnight. It's just that this matter is not even simpler than what we see now. The emperor rubbed his brows, and his voice was so cold that it was about to form ice ballast: "He can react so quickly, I'm afraid that the six departments will have to check it carefully." ”
“......”
Qin Moyu didn't answer, of course, the emperor didn't expect him to answer.
"I have investigated the whereabouts of the poisonous lady for so many years, but I didn't expect her to be a South Vietnamese spy." The emperor looked at the eyebrows and eyes of his son in front of him, which were similar to his mother's, and his expression was a little dazed, as if he saw the woman who was once as bright as the sun, standing under the tree eating and laughing.
The emperor's heart was faintly painful, he was rich in the world, but he still didn't protect their mother and son.
Qin Moyu looked at the expression on the emperor's face, how could he not know that he was thinking of his mother again, and his heart also moved slightly, as if something was blocking his heart.
"Father!" Qin Moyu called softly.
The emperor let out a light "hey" and came back to his senses.
"The poisonous lady is ruthless and vicious, and her means are very good, although you have the Xia family's girls by your side to protect you, you must not be careless, you must be cautious and cautious, and you must not be rash." The emperor looked at him and admonished solemnly.
If it weren't for the kid's insistence on personally tracking down the whereabouts of the poisonous lady, he wouldn't have been willing to let him get into danger no matter what.
"Rest assured, the son should act cautiously and not let the father worry about the son."
"If my father doesn't have any other instructions, my son will retire first."
Thinking of the contents mentioned in Qiu's confession, even the always conceited him only felt a chill in the back.
What he didn't quite understand was that Jing Ninghou had not moved the Qiu clan all this time.
The Emperor waved his hand tiredly, sat down in his chair after returning to the imperial table, leaned his back on the large soft pillow that rested on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.
